Hidan

Today's card is a version of Hidan that... well... let's analyze this...

At Turn 4 with Ambush is good, as is having 5/0 in both healthy and injured. Having a Jonin rank doesn't make much of a difference in Block (though it still helps). On the upside, this Hidan doesn't have the -1 Mental Power of other versions, but his effect...

OK, so paying two Fire during your Mission Phase to Injure a Ninja may seem good. But note that this guy gets one Damage for that.

-You pay two Fire
-You give one Damage to Hidan
-You Injure an opponent's Ninja

Remember that "Injure" and "Damage" aren't the same thing.

The effect is valid, so that can help if you need a Kamikaze for Fire decks. But, I myself wouldn't run this guy. There are better options.
